... because it's just more hygienic when used only by you
Basically, it's a good thing if you like to share things with other people in everyday life, and surely your fellow human beings will appreciate it when you offer them half of your double chocolate muffin in their energetic afternoon low.
However, if your enjoyment of sharing goes so far that you also share personal everyday utensils with friends or family members, we regret to tell you at this point that you should not.

Towels are real breeding grounds for bacteria and therefore you should absolutely avoid sharing it for example with your friend. Why do bacteria love your fluffy shower towel?

7. Hairbrush
